Just another Knight

“Help me! Someone please!” A woman cried from a parking lot as she was being mugged. Her assailant ripped her purse from her arms and took whatever money he could. Soon after, he slugged the woman in the right temple with a over-hand right and threw off her balance. He took advantage of this and tackled her to the ground as if he was a linebacker. He began tearing the woman’s clothes off and unzipping his blue jeans. At this point, she accepted her fate and stopped struggling to the attacker's  delight.

A shadow soon appeared in the distance and said in very stern and menacing voice, “LET. HER. GO.”

The thug crawled off the woman and proceeded to back up slowly. ”Look man, I didn’t mean to!” He said Hastily. “She attacked me first! Just please don’t hurt me!”

Batman saying nothing stands over him, almost God-like in his presence, picks the assailant up from his throat and beats him to a bloody pulp.  He then tosses him like a rag doll and checks up on the victim.

“Are you alright?”, Asked the Caped Crusader as he was removing blood from his suit.

“Yeah, I’m okay. Just a little shaken up as you can imagine”, she said while attempting to catch her breath. “I’m Jennifer, by the way. I’m a reporter for The Gotham Times. I’ll be sure to write about your heroics!” Jennifer turns around to grab her purse. “Hey, I never got a chance to say thanks!” She turns back around to make eye contact with Batman. “So than-”

Gone. 

He was nowhere to be found. It’s just her and her attacker lying on the ground grimacing in pain. Jennifer looks around.
